Ok ... I made it to oz intact ... with my bags of bars of gold and silver safely with me. I'm safe now to say what I really feel ... lol

Is Obama the problem ... YES ... cmon folks that moron Dubya raised the deficit to the crazy amount of 450 mil before leaving office ... how could anyone actually believe that the catastrophic deficits of today (about 3x more) are not the fault of the current puppet in Washington. He may be eloquent, charismatic and charming but he is NOT acting in the interest of the people.

Geithner, the tax evader is in charge of collecting taxes ... what religion did he get in becoming altruistic for the people ... did he pay twice as much to make up for past theiving.

The debt ceiling issue - does it matter either way??? ... the USA is BANKRUPT both financially and morally at the leadeship level ... will allowing more spending supported by both parties make it better???? The real issue in the debate isn't about the welfare of the people it is about the democrats having a free ride on overspending until the next election so they have a chance to continue to line THEIR friends pockets for as long as the world will accept this madness OR the republicans get a pre-election chance by squawking about yet another need to raise the debt ceiling to make sure they have the best chance to line THEIR friends pockets until the country implodes from the wealth shift. GREAT THEATRE ... but so were the gladiators and Roman circuses.

IT'S OVER for the USA ... and as a Canadian I would be careful to not be smug about Canada's relative strength ... they hold US debt as their reserves which means the wealth of Canada and its people is directly tied to the USA. The AMERO is closer than everyone may think because in its present form North America is not sustainable and will implode ... no ifs ands or buts.

I PRAY TO BE WRONG, but if it is possible I sure would love for someone to explain to me why and how it is going to improve given that the corruption in government at the highest levels is a far greater problem then the corruption of all other pocket lining that occurs unjustly at all levels throughout the world ... there are 14 trillions+ reasons why that is the case!

Good luck to all and if I can help ANY of you, including those who may feel we have crossed swords ... I hope to do so!.
